Don’t want to go to Hollywood: Kareena Kapoor Khan

Kareena Kapoor Khan marches to the beat of her own drum. Not one to follow trends, she asserts that she has no intention to do either women-centric films or biopics just because others are doing so.

In fact, even though her contemporaries Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone have gone to Hollywood, Bebo has no intention of doing so. She admits, “I have never got a Hollywood film offer... ever.” 

But that doesn’t bother her at all. “I don’t want to go to Hollywood. I think our films are watched all over the world and today, they even get dubbed in so many languages. So, why do I need to do a Hollywood film to reach out to my fans worldwide? I am happy here. Even if I get an offer, I am not interested in doing a Hollywood film,” she adds. 

Even though she’s averse to the idea of going West, she does appreciate the work that PC has been doing there. She says, “I think Priyanka is the only mainstream Indian actress who has gone there and put India on the global map. Every time she comes on a TV show, I watch it because she speaks so well. It makes us feel so delighted to see a woman reach such great heights.”

She reveals, “Saif and I have watched Quantico and we both feel she’s acted outstandingly. I feel she was the apt choice and she’s the perfect girl to represent India on a platform like this.” 

Yet, she maintains, “I don’t think it’s wrong to do a Hollywood film if you get an opportunity. But it’s just that I am not open to that idea at all. I am happy here in Bollywood.”
